Differences Between vh and mm
Viewport Height (vh) is a relative unit that scales according to 1% of the height of the viewport. Millimeters (mm) are a physical unit of length used in metric measurements. vh units are useful for scalable and responsive design based on height, while millimeters are used for precise physical measurements.
Advantages of Using vh
Using vh units allows for better scalability and flexibility in web design. Since vh is relative to the height of the viewport, it enables elements to scale proportionally to the viewport height. This is useful for responsive design and for creating layouts that adapt to different screen sizes.
How to Convert vh to mm
To convert vh to millimeters, you need to know the height of the viewport. The formula for conversion is:
mm = vh * (viewport height * 25.4 / 100 / 96)
For example, to convert 2vh to millimeters, assuming the viewport height is 1080px:
2vh * (1080px * 25.4 / 100 / 96) = 5.647mm
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use vh instead of mm?
Using vh allows for more scalable and flexible layouts, improving the responsiveness and adaptability of your design across different screen sizes.
How do I set the viewport height?
The viewport height is determined by the user's device and browser window size. You can use CSS media queries to adjust your layout based on different viewport heights.
Can I use vh for all elements?
Yes, you can use vh for most elements to ensure consistency and scalability across different screen sizes.
